Was reading a post by Marc Stein stating that the Houston Rockets were interested in Harrison Barnes. I would love to walk away with Jabari Smith Jr, but this probably makes more sense

Sacramento trades Barnes, Mitchell
Sacramento receives Andrew Wiggins + Golden State 2024 second (via Houston)

Golden State trades Andrew Wiggins
Golden State receives Mitchell (1.5 years left on rookie deal), Jeff Green (Next year non-guaranteed), & Victor Oladipo (expiring) .

Houston trades Jeff Green, Victor Olapido + Golden State 2024 Second
Houston receives Harrison Barnes

This move enables Golden States to wipe away all of Andrew Wiggins future salary off the books by not picking up Mitchell's 5th year option.

Why does Sacramento do this? Trading the best player in this trade and taking on Wiggins (who has been terrible this year) and his bad contract.

@carl. betting on Coach Brown getting Wiggins back to where he was when Coach Brown was an assistant coach at Golden State.

Statistically, I think that Wiggins is actually better than Barnes.
